"PS5 and Xbox Series X Performance Comparison Impacts Buyer Decisions"

Sony Interactive Entertainment has argued that PS5 vs Xbox Series X game performance comparisons can impact a buyer's purchase decision, in response to U.K. regulator Competitions and Markets Authority (CMA) changing its stance to side with Microsoft. Sony claims that Microsoft could release an inferior version of Call of Duty on PS5 if it acquires Activision Blizzard and its properties, and that game performance comparisons are highly influential. The CMA will make its final decision on the proposed Microsoft Activision merger this month.
